Anonymous,The price of an iPhone will be $499 and $599 for a 4GB and 8GB capacity phone and that does not include the cost of the contract with AT&T which could depend on the type of Data Plan you choose.

The iPhone is expected to arrive in Europe by the end of this year and in Asia in 2008 and it may even have 3G capability.

Paul...technically, yes..an iPhone in the US would be locked onto Cingular, but it's possible (and increasingly easy) to pick up "unlocked" phones in India and South-East Asia...I've seen quite a few people here in India walking around with unlocked Treos and BlackBerrys which still bear the Cingular / Sprint logos...personally though, I'd rather wait for the original instrument to hit the Indian market.

I am currently using my iphone in India. I have activated it through ITUNES with some mauvering. I have programmed it to work with GSM sim card from Airtel.It's working perfectly well. I have 2 new models of unlocked IPHONES which i can sell for INR 40,000 or USD 1000

Now that SE w960 and k850 camera phone are gonna release, i actually have stopped waiting for iphone. except for the multipoint touch screen, there is nothing much which iphone can boast on. Even nokia is coming up with many models. Anyways by neglecting India, these fools at apple just made a bad impression on Indians like me.

hi A website iphonenirvana.netclaims they have unlocked iphone which works in india.They are selling at 30K.Is it true, has anyone checked it out, has anyone saw a iphone working in india, if yes what was the price.Brajesh

Hi Everyone. I am currently in U.S. and thinking if buying an iphone from here and use it in India. I did a lot of R&D of whether to buy it or not, it will work or not. I still have few queries..1. I know that v1.1.1 can be unlocked anywhere in India. but Delhi frey market can only unlock it for the phone service not the IPOD. Is that true?2. Apple has released Iphone with new software v1.1.2 & v1.1.3 now, so i dont think older version are available in the market. Will that be possible to unlock the newer version as Apple and some of the website says that its not possible to unlock it with these newer version. Please let me know if anybody has the unlocked iphone which has v1.1.2 with bootloader 4.6.

Hi, I am looking to purchase an iphone from the US and then unlock and use it in India, can it be used with the vodafone service,will all features of the phone work. Can anyone help me with this and suggest me if this is the right thing to do?

i really would like to hav this most awaited i phone..........i m anxiously waiting for the day wen this will launch in india .......so u guys plz do let me no moire about this .....i m waiting ....................

i checked the price of the i- phone at heera panna today...due to sudden rise in dollar the price for the 8gb has shot up to rs 29000....which is quite alot...until 2 weeks back it was available in the grey market in mumbai for 23000 max....what a shock....!!!!!!i was hoping to pick it up by the end of the month...but now it seems totally outta my budget....

Of course it will cost a lot more than 199$. That is only the price that consumers have to pay while activating a contract in the US with At&t. It is estimated that Apple receives another 300 $ from the service providers.

In case the iPhone is launched in india without a binding contract, which is my guess, people will have to pay more.

Try it with 500$, the price will therefore be at least around 22 000 INR for the 8GB version.

I am from India and currently in Europe and have an option to buy an iphone here since I have residence permit of Netherlands. But I will be returning back to India in October.What if I buy it and unlock in India? Will there be some legal problems from Tmobile? Because iphone is available at very low cost here but I have to pay monthly installments till 2 years which I won't be paying after I am back to India.

AmazingDid you know that you can use your iphone on any network worldwide? I just unlocked my iphone 3g and now i can use it on any network , it was really easy , i downloaded some files and fallow the instructions on unlock-iphone.org. Unlock iPhone 3g
